Sacred Gold On Linux Has Gone Gold

Phoronix: Sacred Gold On Linux Has Gone Gold

It took longer than expected, but Linux Game Publishing is now prepared to ship Sacred Gold. The description of this game is below.In his fortress of Shaddar-Nur, the necromancer Shaddar, a pariah of the Band of Mages from Mystdale Castle, plans his triumphant return to the world of Ancaria...

don't get me wrong, i love that they have done this, but where is the value?

The GoG version is a WINDOWS version and you're buying it as such.

Each time you do something along those lines you send a message to the studios and publishers that you actually WANT to buy WINDOWS titles.

Seriously.

I'm not going to twist people's arms to go and buy it (partly because I've a relationship with LGP (Indicated by the tag on my handle here...)) but in the same breath, I'd be disinclined to give the wrong message just because "it's cheaper".

One of the things everyone has to realize is that as long as you keep equating what is a new title on Linux with "an old title", which might be the case on Windows, you're going to be waiting a LONG time for Linux specific titles unless they're indie stuff like Caster.
